Couple shocked by £100k home insurance quote
A couple from Newry, Dr. Peter and Patricia Cunningham, received a shocking home insurance renewal quote of nearly £100,000, up from £580 last year. Tesco Insurance later stated that "incorrect information" was sent to them and could not renew their policy. Dr. Cunningham initially thought the quote was a mistake and confirmed it with customer service. Tesco acknowledged the error and sent an updated letter explaining they could not renew the insurance due to changes in underwriting criteria. The couple believes the denial may be linked to a recent claim for storm damage. Tesco denied this connection, stating the refusal was unrelated to previous claims. The Cunninghams expressed disappointment in the company.
